When a charged object is brought near to but does not touch a neutral object, it causes the side of the neutral object that the charged object is near to become the other charge. It causes charge migration within the neutral object so the two charges (positive and negative) move to opposite sides of the object. Because the two objects do not touch, they do not repel each other, but rather have a slight attraction because of charge migration. If the two object were to touch then they would repel.
Answer:
(a) 89 m/s
(b) 11000 N
Explanation:
Note that answers are given to 2 significant figures which is what we have in the values in the question.
(a) Speed is given by the ratio of distance to time. In the question, the time given was the time it took the pulse to travel the length of the cable twice. Thus, the distance travelled is twice the length of the cable.
(b) The tension, , is given by
where is the speed, is the tension and is the mass per unit length.
Hence,
To determine , we need to know the mass of the cable. We use the density formula:
where is the mass and is the volume.
If the length is denoted by , then
The density of steel = 8050 kg/m3
The cable is approximately a cylinder with diameter 1.5 cm and length or height of 620 m. Its volume is
(1500 rev/min)(min / 60 s) / (3.0 s) = 8.33 rev/s²
<span>(B) </span>
<span>(1/2)(8.33 rev/s²)(3.0 s)² = 37.5 rev </span>
<span>(C) </span>
<span>(1500 rev/min)(min / 60 s)[2π(0.12 m) / rev] = 18.8 m/s</span>
Answer: Light passes through the front of the eye (cornea) to the lens. The cornea and the lens help to focus the light rays onto the back of the eye (retina). The cells in the retina absorb and convert the light to electrochemical impulses which are transferred along the optic nerve and then to the brain.
Explanation:
When light rays reflect off an object and enter the eyes through the cornea (the transparent outer covering of the eye), you can then see that object. The cornea bends, or refracts, the rays that pass through the round hole of the pupil.
We have no idea. There are probably many things involved ... the planet's mass,
the availability of small bodies in the neighborhood that can be captured, etc.
